Automated Social Science: Language Models as Scientist and Subjects

Autor: Manning, Benjamin S., Zhu, Kehang, Horton, John J.

We present an approach for automatically generating and testing, in silico, social scientific hypotheses. This automation is made possible by recent advances in large language models (LLM), but the key feature of the approach is the use of structural

Algorithmic Writing Assistance on Jobseekers' Resumes Increases Hires

Autor: van Inwegen, Emma, Munyikwa, Zanele, Horton, John J.

There is a strong association between the quality of the writing in a resume for new labor market entrants and whether those entrants are ultimately hired. We show that this relationship is, at least partially, causal: a field experiment in an online

Large Language Models as Simulated Economic Agents: What Can We Learn from Homo Silicus?

Autor: Horton, John J.

Newly-developed large language models (LLM) -- because of how they are trained and designed -- are implicit computational models of humans -- a homo silicus. These models can be used the same way economists use homo economicus: they can be given endo

The Tragedy of Your Upstairs Neighbors: Is the Airbnb Negative Externality Internalized?

Autor: Horton, John J.

A commonly expressed concern about the rise of the peer-to-peer rental market Airbnb is that hosts---those renting out their properties---impose costs on their unwitting neighbors. I consider the question of whether apartment building owners will, in

Employer Expectations, Peer Effects and Productivity: Evidence from a Series of Field Experiments

Autor: Horton, John J.

This paper reports the results of a series of field experiments designed to investigate how peer effects operate in a real work setting. Workers were hired from an online labor market to perform an image-labeling task and, in some cases, to evaluate

The Online Laboratory: Conducting Experiments in a Real Labor Market

Autor: Horton, John J., Rand, David G., Zeckhauser, Richard J.

Online labor markets have great potential as platforms for conducting experiments, as they provide immediate access to a large and diverse subject pool and allow researchers to conduct randomized controlled trials. We argue that online experiments ca
